2005-03-12 - 9:54 a.m. I'm an adult. This is the United States of America. I don't have to read every single chapter. Do I? Saw my first-ever Eddie Izzard video last night. Good lord, he's brilliant. Stand-up comedy is like chocolate. (it's actually more like sex but this is a family joint). The mediocre stuff can be satisfying in its way--Ray Romano on Jay Leno might make me guffaw a few times and thus deliver endorphins to the brain the way HoHos do...but Eddie Izzard makes me laugh and engages my brain and heart in a way that suggests Vosges truffles. Ok, clearly this metaphor fell apart a couple sentences ago, and sex would have worked better than chocolate. But I really hate when people compare things to sex. I wonder how many people will find this entry on a search for "ho's + chocolate + sex" Following up on the Chris T./Robert Plant story, you can bid on an autographed guitar and, if you win, help out WFMU at the same time. I like that we live in a world where entire conferences spring up about bird-safe architecture.
